Tag: Hiking
I woke this morning near in the Many Glacier area and had my sights set on hiking the Swiftcurrent Pass Trail To Swiftcurrent Mountain. I had my usual quick breakfast (it is the most important meal of the day 🙂 ), and headed to the trailhead. Along the way I stopped for a couple of quick pictures of the Many Glacier Hotel (see previous post) and Swiftcurrent Lake…..
The first thing I did when I woke this morning was check the weather. The forecast for today was still very iffy with a 60% chance of rain/snow mix and highs in the 40s. So, I decided to do another canyon hike that was recommended to me by a couple of people (thank you Walt Fromm) called Cascade Canyon (AllTrails, Images). I arrived at the trailhead next to Jenny Lake and started my trek for the day.
I woke early this morning excited to spend the day hiking in the Grand Tetons. My first order of business was the weather forecast. As expected had changed slightly overnight. They were still calling for rain today but they had pushed the “bad stuff” back about 24 hours. But they were still calling for a significant temperature drop and snow for the next few days. So I decided to do a day hike today (vs multi-day back country as I had planned) and see what the forecast looks like later in the day. With that in mind I had been told by a few people that the hike to Surprise Lake (AllTrails, Images) and Amphitheater Lake (AllTrails, Images) was a must do. So I set my sites on that and drove to the trailhead.
